ABSTRACT
Male Incontinence - An Overview and its Relationship to Benign Prostatic Enlargement Abstract Male urinary incontinence is a common disease in elderly men and can lead to a significantly reduced quality of life. Reported prevalence of urinary incontinence increases up to 32% in men over 85 years. Risk factors for urinary incontinence are prostate surgery, advanced age, immobility, urinary tract infections, diabetes mellitus, cognitive disorders, and neurological disease. Urinary incontinence is divided into three subtypes stress urinary incontinence, urge urinary incontinence, and mixed urinary incontinence. Benign prostatic obstruction can lead to a detrusor overactivity and a further urge incontinence. However, iatrogenic injury or a preexisting weakness of the external urinary sphincter are more common and can lead to stress urinary incontinence in men following prostate surgery. A correct treatment can significantly improve symptoms in men suffering from urinary incontinence. Though, every treatment plan must be tailored to the individual patient.
